Jacksonville First Coast running back Jermaine Thomas said he had a blast on his trip to Gainesville Saturday to watch spring practice. He saw the running backs. He talked with coach Urban Meyer. Thomas even got to hold the national championship trophy and that's when Meyer offered a word of advice.

"He told me not to drop it," Thomas said. "He tried to take it back. I didn't want to give it back. I wish I had brought a camera so I could've taken a picture of me with the national championship trophy. That was a really good moment."
